Scared me, too. As I remember, Atta and some of his merry men did a dry run on a NY to LA flight before 9/11 that was reported after the fact.

I will NOT fly on a plane with more than 2 Middle Eastern men on it. 3 or more get on, I get off. Period. I don't care how much money it costs me. I haven't had to use this rule yet, but I always check out the other passengers before I get on.
If I was this woman I would've asked to get off, particularly after seeing the 2nd group come on.

This article is also a good argument for late boarding. If you get on just before the gate closes you can check out the other passengers and decide if it looks safe enough.

Sure, they could be using blond Chechens, so examining the other passengers isn't foolproof, but if they won't protect us we at least have to try and protect ourselves.

PC is going to kill us all.

Good policy, but avoid Detroit.

Remember the actor James Woods was on that flight!

I agree with your rule about flying w/more than 2 ME men on board. My daughter travels frequently, to large cities, and I have told here to be very aware of who is boarding the flights and keep a keen eye on all activity during the flight. (She thinks I'm completely crazy). I will forward this link to her now as she has two trips next week.

Don't fly Northwest Airlines from Detroit to any major city then. You'll be getting off of a lot of planes.

"PC is going to kill us all."

I've been saying just that for years. PC is the most oppressive and most dangerous bit of foolishness that liberals have come up with yet, and they've come up with some doozies over the years.

And here's something ELSE to be worried about WRT this story..

Where did the plane you just got on arrive from? Were the ME types assembling a bomb in the lavoratory before your flight? Is it on a timer?

Many of us check out the passengers on our flight prior to going anywhere. But, what good does it do if your plane has been rigged AHEAD OF TIME by the LAST bunch of people on the plane?

I for one would feel a whole lot better knowing planes were "sniffed" between flights. But, I HIGHLY doubt the airlines or TSA bother to take the time as it's probably too much "trouble" for them to do so.

Illegal aliens can demonstrate for their rights - Huh? Illegals are attempting to sue the 'Gumm'nt' 'cos they die in the deserts without water - Huh? Witnesses to a robbery report that a 'green' man committed the crime, police are accused of racial profiling when they question 'green' men - Huh? Some time ago an article questioned whether America was going insane, many replies said no 'cos it was already insane! Yep! PC will kill us all. How about the judges writing their own laws? That's what they are doing with some of the sentences they are handing down. We have stepped through the looking glass and God knows where it will end!

It would be interesting to see several passengers boarding the same flight follow your policy. If 10 or so passengers stopped standing on politeness and just told security -- either you thoroughly search these guys or we're not boarding, and then spread the word among other passengers, it might make a difference on that flight, and if it happened enough times, PC might be history.

Minetta needs to go.

PC is going to kill us all.

Hopefully it'll just kill about half of us and the remaining half figures out that PC isn't such a wonderful thing after all.
